sircaffey Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) If you want left righty matchups then you go with the best left hander in the 3rd spot. Blalock doesn't get on base enough to hit in the 3rd spot. Pods Uribe Thome Konerko Dye Blalock Iguchi Pierzynski Anderson If Uribe is hitting 2nd and Blalock is on the team, I believe Ozzie goes with this lineup. (switch Blalock with Dye if you want, but I believe Ozzie will opt to keep Dye there) Edited December 16, 2005 by sircaffey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thome was brought in because we didn't have a 3 hitter last year. He did offer protection as another power hitter/1B if Konerko left, but Kenny Williams did tell Konerko that he was after Thome regardless. I just struggle with Thome as a #3 hitter. He strikes out a ton, and hasn't hit for a great average in the last couple years. Personally, I like him as a protector to Konerko..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot Furcal, Guzman is 21 next season and put up near SL MVP numbers and something that caught my eye is he homered over all 3 sets of boards to left for his last ab of the game then the next AB he homered over all 3 sets of boards to Right. He actually hit more homeruns (6) at the Met than any of the Barons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guzman projects as either a LF, RF, or 1B. Agree on both counts he can pick it well at SS and he is a big kid 6-6 but for some reason LA wants him to play the left side of the infield.

Guzman projects as either a LF, RF, or 1B. I've heard the same, though I'd like to try him at 2B first where his bat would still be a huge asset. -- He'll get to the majors as quickly as his bat can get him there, however, so he'll probably wind up at one of the corners.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 QUOTE(drowninginflame @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) I'd rather have crede and tejada I'd rather have Uribe and Chone Figgins. I wonder if the Angels would be interested in a trade involving Garland and Figgins? Figgins could start in CF for the Sox but also play 3B, 2B and a little SS. With him and Mackowiak on the team Ozzie would have a lot of flexibility and they could even carry 12 pitchers or a third catcher if so desired.

chisoxgrl Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I did hear of this. I am going to take a lot of flack, but I do not want Crede to go. I can say g-bye to Garland but not Joe. I am all for the Tejada trade with Garland and Uribe, but not Joe. I know Joe has Boras for an agent and that means KW won't deal. Crede's defense is stellar, and he comes through every time offensively when we need it. A normal at bat will be a pop out, but when we need to tie or we need a walk off he has done it! I am sure there are more things to consider than what I see, in fact I know, but that is something I feel strongly about. Crede needs to stay. I think anything he may lack is made up for in the moments that are critical. That has been what I have seen, especially this year. Crede in the clutch is worth it.
